I watched it, and felt kind of lost most of the episode. Not enough context to make sense of much.

Well

Much like the graphic novel there were details in every scene hinting at all kinds of plot points. Like Robert Redford’s Presidental picture in the kids classroom, there were ten planets (I think) hanging from a mobile in the classroom, the black vigilante gal sips coffee from an Owl mug (nod to Nite Owl?), the flags in the trailer park were different from others in the program, the bakery had a croissant and yellow star emblem (a hint that the French defeated Ho Chi Min in Vietnam), the murals throughout Tulsa depicting African Americas rather than whites, and two most important motifs that reoccur in the comic: the image of the smiley face/clock face in juxtaposition and reflections upon glass indicating that things aren’t always so clear but reflected or refracted in life

The show was absolutely incredible!

I never read the graphic novel, but am a huge fan of the movie, so I got about half the references. I really like the Leftovers, so I hope Damon Lindelof does it justice.
